Thank you Bella. Yes, I do use coconut flour and flax seed. I've tried making a biscuit and pie crust out of those but it was so crumbly. I wondered if the sunflower seed flour would help cut the taste of the coconut, too.

I have a vita mix. It will grind them pretty fine for flour. If I want some sunbutter I make at this time. To 2 cups of flour add 2 T. of your favorite oil to make butter.I'm sure you can use a coffee grinder or food processor.

Look in your stores and if you have bulk they usally have nuts. I buy sunflower, pepita, cashew , walnuts, almonds and others to make my butters and flours.

Sunflower & pepitas are pretty cheap. Plus east coast girls I know you can get them at Dollar tree. That's where my sister gets them.If they are salted wash them.

I tried a Paleo recipe with sunflower seed flour I attempted to grind up myself last year (can't for the life of me remember what that was right now) and I found the taste of the sunflowers really came through in the final product. If you grind it too fine, you'll end up with sunflower butter/paste. But when you're dealing with allergies, you have to use whatever alternate flours will work for you.

The cookbook, The Joy of Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free Baking by Peter Reinhart and Denene Wallace uses sunflower seed flour in some of their recipes. It is always used in conjunction with other flours. Their recipe for Double-Cheese Focaccia with Tomato Sauce uses 2 cups almond flour and 1 cup sunflower seed flour. It is also used in their Banana Nut Bread, Onion Breadsticks, Pretzels and a pizza crust. The preview to most recipes says it is OK to change around the flours. You may be able to pick this book up your library. It is an outstanding cookbook and has some recipes for baked goods that are quite different from other low carb cookbooks. Yummy photos, too!

I use sunflower seed flour. I grind it in m electric coffee grinder and I use it to replace 50% of the almond flour in any given recipe. It cuts down the almond taste without over powering it. Also sunflower seeds are cheaper than almonds. Mostly I just use it for making muffins

I made Orange Pecan Muffins this week. I think they are Linda Sue's recipe. I have been using the BTF mix instead of almond flour. So this week I tried 1/2 coconut flour and 1/2 sunflower flour and added 2 extra eggs. The taste was great and they turned out so moist. The sunflower helped mellow out the coconut flour taste. I went out and bought more seeds. :-) I think this weekend I'll try making a pie crust with both coconut flour and the sunflower flour.
